What is The Firefighters Burn Children Fund:

The Firefighters' Burned Children Fund, Inc. (FFBCF) is operated for the sole purpose of raising funds. This can be done by a variety of methods. The proceeds earned are then used to provide non-medical assistance to child burn victims, and developing and implementing burn prevention programs.

Why do we do this?

More than 35% of all fire and burn injuries and deaths are to children. Fires and burns are the second leading cause of accidental death for children one to four years and the third leading cause of death to those under the age of 19. Burn injuries are emotional as well as physical, requiring many adjustments for growing and maturing children.

The worst type of burn is the one that could have been prevented. The fund works with firefighters and medical professional across the nation to promote safety and awareness. Make certain tonight that your smoke alarm works and that your family knows what to do in the event of a fire.
